Summary

Staff explained the district's single-price registration model (posting one price for events and absorbing card fees), saying a new fee would have required earlier implementation; board members discussed legal guidance and recommended tabling until clarification from the Attorney General.

District staff (S10) said the district uses a single posted price for events and registrations that effectively covers card-processing costs rather than adding a separate debit-card fee. Staff argued implementing a separate fee now would be impractical because registration has already started and such a fee would have needed to be in place before payments were collected.

Board members debated the policy and the need to ensure compliance with Attorney General guidance; one member recommended tabling the item until AG guidance could be obtained.
